This might have been the longest break I've taken after releasing a new book.
I'm nervous and excited for what's next, a book that's very different from the Kingsport Chronicles, but I hope everyone will love these new characters as much as I do.🖤

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

Growing up with a speech impediment and getting called the R word while simultaneously being placed in the gifted program, I realized at about seven years old that people think being able to communicate in a very specific way is the same thing as being "intelligent" and "right."
This is the thing I’ve been trying to explain to people. Just people AGI is return right answers doesn’t mean it’s reasoning.
The biggest flaw in how we think about intelligence is rooted in how we’re taught (literally in schools) to value answers over showing the work (reasoning) behind it.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations.
Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily.
We must stop them.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
